Stone Ridge Golf Club offers a rugged mountain experience with 18 holes wrapped in natural hills, wetlands, and native wildlife. This public course balances accessible play with thoughtful design, inviting golfers of all levels to enjoy its varied terrain and peaceful setting.
Stone Ridge Golf Club, located just east of Eagle Point, Oregon, offers an engaging 18-hole layout that invites golfers into a rugged yet accessible mountain setting. This public course blends gently rolling terrain with native grasses, creeks, and quiet stands of trees, delivering a course design that flows naturally with the land’s contours rather than imposing an artificial frame. The fairways thread through undulating hills and wetlands, demanding strategic shot-making as much as length off the tee. Players regularly encounter local wildlife including deer, hawks, ducks, and turkeys, adding an unexpected layer of connection with the environment.
This course showcases poa annua putting surfaces that provide true and consistent roll even during Oregon’s wetter months. Tee boxes vary between gently elevated black tees tucked back in vegetation and more exposed blue, white, and red tees placed for a sweeping course perspective. While some tee areas might feel uneven, the fairways offer a satisfying rhythm of bends and elevation changes that reward golfers who shape shots left and right. Stone Ridge challenges without overwhelming, with hole lengths that accommodate a wide range of handicaps. Walkers will find the terrain manageable but should be prepared for occasional soft or muddy patches, especially early in the year. A cart is recommended for comfort but walking remains popular.
Beyond the course, the friendly staff enhance the welcoming atmosphere here. The clubhouse area, modest yet inviting, complements the natural surroundings rather than overshadowing them. Seasonal events such as the Military Appreciation Tournament highlight community engagement and add a spirited dimension to play.
Stone Ridge may not compete with the longest championship tracks but it delivers a memorable mountain golf experience with wild vistas, thoughtful design, and an approachable challenge. It is a course where all levels can discover rhythm in the rolling hills and pause to appreciate Oregon’s wildlife and natural quiet.
Stone Ridge stands out with its integration into native foothills, creating fairways that wind purposefully around wetlands and natural valleys. Its poa annua greens offer reliable putting surfaces year-round. Wildlife sightings, from bald eagles to deer, enrich the experience, while the elevation changes and shaped holes provide keen strategic moments without penalizing less experienced players.
